Not really... Babel fish will pretty much ruin any medical

translation. But wenlin is a great tool! it is not a translator, it

is really a dictionary. One must still pick the correct definition

and make sense of the grammar. Understanding the grammar, IMO is the

key, so that one can pick the correct definition. Over a year ago I

set up a website for beginners to start using these tools to translate

CM texts. You can check it out

http://Chinese Medicine/1translationHP.htm - It will help one

set up a pc for Chinese and give some basics for wenlin. It also has

some sample texts to practice with…Good luck,

Very useful data, but I cannot access your edited dictionary files:

 

> {HYPERLINK " w3db/ZIDIAN.DB " }File1, {HYPERLINK " w3db/ZIDIAN.NDX " }File2,

{HYPERLINK " w3db/ZIDIAN.TRE " }File3. You need to save these into your w3db

folder.
